It makes a nice change to see someone trying to measure real life computing speed with a package I actually use.
In the UK the magazine tests involve games I've never heard of. Having thankfully missed out on versions 1 - 26 of "Doom" or whatever, the fact that Doom 27 can be run at even higher resolution with quicker frame rates is of no interest to me. Try moving the cursor in a line of text in Word from the beginning to the end using the arrow key. This process hasn't speeded up for decades, yet moving the cursor around is something I do all the time. How long does the latest version of Word or Excel take to load? How long does the machine take to boot up? By these tests, computing is slowing down. On a positive note I have noticed the CS3 loads up quicker than CS, so well done Adobe.
